grace design M201 MicroPhone PreaMPlifier This preamp delivers massive headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth and a very open, musical character. The signal path is fully balanced from start to finish, resulting in a wider dynamic range. New high-current output drivers enable even longer cable runs without signal loss. The exclusive ribbon mic mode shifts the gain range up 10dB while deactivating 48V phantom power, bypassing the decoupling capacitors and optimizing the input impedance. Each channel has an ‘input mode’ rotary switch which selects between a standard 48V phantom input, ribbon mic mode, a front panel DI input or high voltage input for DPA mics (130V or 190V). The m201 is also available with a state of the art 24-bit/192kHz A/D converter option, from the factory or as a retrofit to existing units. The A/D converter features word clock, Digidesign LoopSync, and proprietary dual stage PPL with s-Lock for extremely low jitter.ITEM DESCRIPTION PRICEM201 ......................... 2-channel mic preamp .............................................................. 2375.00M201A/D ...................

grace design M101/M103 The m101 features balanced, transformerless, trans-impedance circuit topology, universal switching power supply, dedicated LED indicators for preamp functions, 48V phantom power, and HPF switch. The Ribbon Mic Mode bypasses the input decoupling capacitors, raises the input impedance from 8.1kΩ to 20kΩ, and defeats the 48V phantom power, preventing damage to delicate ribbon mic elements. The gain range is 10-75dB, including the additional +10dB of gain available with the output trim control. The m103 adds a 3-band EQ and optical compressor. Controls include fully parametric mid, with shelving and peak modes on the high and low bands. The compressor circuit is based on an optical attenuator and provides gentle limiting to fairly heavy compression, while remaining neutral and transparent. The compressor controls can be linked for stereo applications, the order of the EQ/COMP is switchable, and monitoring signal status is simple with 10-segment gain reduction and output meters. The m101 and m103 include a HI-Z input on the front panel. Rear panel I/O options include both balanced TRS and unbalanced TS 1/4" outputs along with the standard XLR balanced out and XLR microphone in. The m103 adds XLR and 1/4" unbalanced mic pre out, and XLR line so that the mic pre and EQ/COMP sections can be accessed independently of each other.ITEM DESCRIPTION PRICEM101 .........................
